This episode was recorded in the
beginning of April 2020 for context. We're still getting used to
the temporary new-normal of staying indoors and self-quarantining
for our own safety. It requires us to learn more planning skills
that, luckily, we have already been working on with our own diets.
But not like this.

In fact, Emily has taken to
calling the combination of this + PMS "The Season of Our
Discontent". Good thing we still have our sense of humor, although
John has deemed himself an Anxetiy-Riddled Hypochondriac
Germaphobe.

We talk a lot about our current
situations, which as you may know if you’re listening to this
around the time it comes out, is the COVID-19 social distancing
stuff. It’s important to mention, as we do every episode, we are
not doctors. Please refer to theCDC website guidelinesfor information or any questions you may
have.

Don’t forget, you can talk to us
and other Weighters while we record by going to the Hate to Weight
Discussion Group on Facebook. We record every Thursday at 11
a.m.!

In This Episode:

John
starts off the show with a clip of a toddler upset about how she
can’t get all her favorite foods and the tantrum that ensues. And
that’s pretty much how John’s reacting.

We
find our habits have changed from everything that’s going on with
the coronavirus pandemic.

Don’t
take vitamins on an empty stomach! Nope!

John
now identifies as an Anxiety-Riddled Hypochondriac
Germaphobe.

Do
you have triggers for your eating or other habits? That’s one thing
we’ve really worked on identifying.

We’re
also learning how to plan our shopping and eating so we can make
our groceries stretch.

Emily
is celebrating two years of doing Intermittent Fasting! Two years =
90 pounds down = 8 sizes down!

It’s
weird that this is starting to become a new normal for
everyone.

Gross-out alert: Both John and Emily admit we
both enjoy pizza that’s been left out over refrigerated.
Eek!

Emily
has some morbid curiosity. We apologize in advance.

Thank
goodness for the #WinningWednesdays posts! We can always use some
good news.
